Title: Improvements in and relating to Means for Charging Vertical Retorts.
IPC: C10B31/02
Filed: 1912-02-15
Granted: 1913-02-06
Abstract: 3795. Dempster &. Sons, R., and Toogood, H. J. Feb. 15. Charging.-Apparatus for charging vertical gas-retorts comprises a normally stationary bin suspended on w h e e l tracks from overhead coal bunkers in order to free the retort from its weight and provided at the top with a gas-tight coal - supply valve, a water-seal being interposed between the bin and retort. Coal passes from the bunker outlets 33, 34, Fig. 5, to shoots 12, 13 from which it is fed through a rotary plug valve 14 to the bin 1. The valve is provided with a screwed spindle 15, engaging with lock-nuts 16 by which the height of the valve is adjusted, and with a bevel-wheel 17 engaging with a pinion on a shaft by which the valve is rotated. A three-armed pointer 21 is mounted on the spindle to indicate which shoot is connected to the bin. The water-seal is shown in Fig. 3 and comprises a detachable tank 6 mounted on the retort mouthpiece 9 and surrounding an extension 5 of the bin. The inner wall 7 of the tank is lower than the outer wall 8 so that any overflow passes into the retort. Loops or eyes may be provided on the tank to engage with hooks on the bin, so that the tank can be lifted away with the bin when the retort is to be scurfed. Removable partitions 29 having T-heads sealed with fire-clay are arranged within the retort on each side of the charging-opening, and a by-pass pipe is arranged between the spaces on the outside of the partitions to facilitate the escape of gas to the take-off pipe.

Granted: 1912-12-23
Abstract: 5636. Paton, G. K. March 6. Coiling, b e n d i n gformers. - Line wires are secured to insulators by a wire clip made of aluminium or hard drawn copper, with a loop to engage the neck of the insulator, and with a hook at one end to engage the line wire and a part at the other end parallel with the line wire. The hooked end of the loop 3 is bent round the wire 2 as shown at 7 by means of a hand tool bent from a slip of flat metal as shown in part section in Fig. 7. To form the wire clip, a special jig is used consisting of a base-plate 11 with uprights 14, 15 at each end. The base-plate carries a dummy insulator 13 and is provided with a hole 20; the uprights carry a dummy line wire 17, and that marked 14 carries an offset 18 having holes 19 therein as shown. To form the clip, the end of a length of wire is placed in the hole 20, and the wire 3 is bent round the bevel 21 as shown in Fig. 5. It is then removed, the bent end is placed in one of the holes 19, and the loop and hook 7 are formed round the dummies 13, 17 as shown in Fig. 4.

IPC: B66B5/20
Filed: 1912-03-18
Granted: 1912-10-31
Abstract: 6700. Daam, G. von. March 18, 1911, [Convention date]. Catch gear of mine-cage type.-Comprises a modified arrangement of safety catch gear of the kind in which, upon the breaking of the hoisting-rope, disks are forced by springs into engagement with the guides and are thus rotated, the motion being transmitted to eccentric brake members which are turned into gripping engagement with the guides. Toothed disks 23 are mounted on shafts 20 pivotally suspended by brackets 22 from the frame 14. Bevel-wheels 24 on the shafts 20 gear with bevel-wheels on shafts 26, which are mounted in bearings in U-shaped members 21<a> secured to the frame 14. Eccentric toothed cams 27 are carried by the shafts 26 in close proximity to the sides of the guides 10, the inner faces 12 of which are toothed so as to be capable of giving a rotary movement to the disks 23 when the apparatus comes into action. In the event of the cable breaking, the draw-bar 16 is depressed by a spring 17, and the inclined links 18 are straightened so as to swing the disks into engagement with the toothed face 12. The rotary movement of the disk is transmitted through the bevel-gears to the cams 27, which engage the sides of the guides 10 and arrest the'cage.

Title: Safety Manipulating Device for Machinery.
Inventor: WILLIAM COTTREL
IPC: F16P3/24
Filed: 1912-05-13
Abstract: 11,365. Cottrell, W. May 13, 1911, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Gearing for starting machinery requiring both hands of operator to be occupied.-A clutch-rod 14 attached to a lever 17 is pulled down by a hook 24 pivoted to a hand-lever 25. The tail 28 of the hook lies adjacent to a pin 29 on an arm 30 connected to a hand-lever 32 on the other side of the machine. If the lever 25 only is depressed, the tail of the hook runs along the pin 29 and the hook is raised clear of the lever 17 so that the clutch is not actuated. By depressing the lever 32, the pin 29 is moved away, and the lever 25 then actuates the clutch. If at any time the lever 32 is released, the pin 29 comes back to its place and knocks the hook off the lever 17. The Specification states that the invention is applicable to " manipulating- devices " other than for starting.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Printing Textile Fabrics such as Velvet, Carpets such as Axminster, or the like.
Inventor: HOEPNER PAUL
IPC: B41F17/00

Granted: 1913-04-17
Abstract: 16,548. H÷pner, P. July 15. Printing processes; printing-surfaces; platen presses.-An apparatus for printing fabrics, carpets, &c. comprises a series of pins arranged in a perforated plate supported fixedly relatively to a colour vessel, the level of the colour in which is varied by means of plungers or the like so as to cause the colour to How over the tops of the pins to ink them, and then to be below this level while the pins and trough are raised to bring the pins into contact with the fabric. As shown, a series of pins h, Figs. 1, 4, with dish-shaped or annular grooves in their tops, are arranged in a colour trough c supported on a bed b which can be raised and lowered by toggle-levers f, g operated by a handlever d. Before the bed b is raised, a horseshoe-shaped metal-coated wooden plunger i is depressed against the action of springs j, Fig. 4, by means of a handle k and levers l, and this causes the colour to flow over the tops of the pins. The plunger is released before the bed b and pins h are raised, and the colour taken up by the pins is deposited on the fabric, which passes under an impression surface a, when the bed b is raised. For taking multicolour impressions, tracks may be provided at each side of the bed b so that the tanks c can be readily replaced by fresh tanks with different colours, or a number of tanks c, Fig. 7, may be stored in a vertically movable magazine o, and the tanks be brought successively into printing position. In a modified form of apparatus, Fig. 9, the tank c is in communication with a cylinder p in which is contained a fixed piston r which causes the required variations in the level of the colour in the tank c automatically by the rising and falling of the vessel.

Abstract: 18,644. Brewer, F. E. Aug. 14. Spark - arresters for locomotives &c. In apparatus of the kind comprising an arresting-screen and a conduit t h r o u g h which the quenched sparks are returned by a jet of steam to the ash - pan, furnace, or elsewhere, the screen 5 is carried on a plate 2 which supports the blast-pipe, and is inclined forwardly and divides the chimney into two chambers, the smaller of which converges at its upper end into a pipe 8. This pipe is bent over the edge of the chimney and enters a larger pipe 9 through which the sparks are delivered to the required point by a steam jet 15. Near the outlet end of the pipe 9 is a grating which permits the escape of steam &c. A three-way cock 14 controls the supply of steam to the blower and to the jet 15. In the case of a locomotive, the sparks may be delivered on to the road bed. For this purpose, the pipe 9 delivers into a drum having an outlet 19 and radial partitions 18 rotated slowly by ratchet gearing actuated from one of the axles.
